eleven o'clock that morning and
walked ul) Sixth street to If, alld

wh:e he met the widow who kept

serv.ces of Good Friday, and1 then
in the act of going to her former

to get. bomIo articles belonging to

he walked up H street to Tenth,
and down Tenth to thu theat.re.
'When lie reached there it was about
or pr1obaly a little later than
twelve o'clock mfiddaiy. There he

nooTn1 SJDEcLAiRATION B)URNED.
Trhis thoughlt fastened on his
brain-led him to go from the
theatre toward the Kirkw~ood House
to have a1 conforence.with some of
his 01ld conspirator's. John Surrat
was away, O'Lioughlin was in B3alti..

store aIt Fortress Monroe. They
knew the abduction conspiracy had
been abandoned, but Payne,
Atzerodt and Harold were in
Washington. Theso latter he got

to kill the President, the victorious
General and some of the Cabinet. He

appeared at the theatre a lengthy
statement for publication. excusing
his intended crime by Roman pret
codont, When dying ho referred to
it for his justigcation. He gave, on
the evening of the 14th, a package
to an actor, directing its delivery
the next day to the National Itetlli
gth ecer. The actor confesses that
he. frightoned at the risk he ran,
broke the seal, read the inolosed
matter arid at midnight burned it.
If that package had been preserved
it would have revealed the declara
tion that until noon that day its
writer had net premeditatod mur,
der, but feeling deoply the humnilia,
tioni of the South, to the people of
which he bore all the love that Bru
tWs ever felt for Rome, he would
strike down that night the leading
mon of the victorioua hosts who
were thon shouting their preans of
truth. When dying, with his face
lit up with the blaze of the burning
barn upon the Garrett farm, just at
the break of day, on the morning of
April 24, ho muttered some words, a
soldier bcnt over him and caught
them from his fast obbing breath,

"Tell her I did it, ats I thought, for
the best," and thon he said, "Tell
others that the communication I
wrote, addressod to the NArtional
Intelligencer, will explain why I did
what I did." During the conspira
ey trial at the arsenal the Hon,
Joseph Holt, the Judgo..Advocato,
called on John F. Coyle, then the
publisher of the National .Intelli,
gencer, and asked if that communi
cation had ever been received. Hie
reply was, "No." "It was," con,
tinned Mr. Ford, "burnt in the
grate of a chamber of a boarding
house, and a Catholic Priest, now
living in Vashingtou, had the fact
confussed to him soon afterward. I
had the occurrence revealed

of the confession--by the party who
was the custodian of the package,

In order to demonstrate that his
brain was turned by the poetic an I
iramatic glamour which transmitted
the story;of the I1omaii assaasination,
said Mr. Ford, it is but just to de-,
